Both Parties.
Imprisoned for Resisting Eviction-Aisatians Con-

PARIS, June 11.-An immense sensa-
tion has been eseated here by the an
nouncement in yesterdays Figaro that
the daughter of the Spanish Marshal,
Martinez Campos. has been kidnapped
by one or more unknown individuals
while walking in the Bois de BOulogne.
Thus far no traces either of the lady or
of her captars have been found. Sus-
picion, however, points ta a gentleman
who has been known as making fruit
less efforts to- induce the lady to marry
him.
The COmtesse do Campos Is the former
wife of the young Due de la Tore, son
of the late Marshall Serrano, of Spain.
Within few months after her wedding
she somewhat startled even the Paris
ians by demanding the annulment of her
marriage on the ground that her hus-
band was physically unfit for her. The
matter created much scandal at the
time. and the anti-clerical papers in
France. as may be imagined, made the
most of the instructions received from
Rome by the Archbishop of Paris, for a
report as to whether the accusations of
the young wife We're well founded. 1t
would appear that the Archbishop's re-
port was unfavorable TO the Duke, for
shortly afterwards the Vatican decreed
the annulment of the marriage, in
accordance with the young lady's
request.
thnp shea hos rasi1a1 in Paris
where her beauty, her wealth and the
high favor enjoyed by her father at the
Spanish court have caused her to be
greatly sought after
Her father, who was the intimate
friend and companion of the late King,
is the principal military adviser of the
Queen Regent, and it is needless to add
that the whole Spanish Embassy here is
in an uproar about her disappearance.
AS result of the inquiries in the Cam
pus abduction case, the police are of
opinion that the affair was pre-arranged.
AS both parties are of age, the pO-
lice viii not interfere, The alleged
abduc.Or Is said To be VI. Delatour
Garhouf, 1t Is said that he
wrote letter to the young lady instruct
ing her to wear light dress Il she was
willing to accompany him. otherwise to
wear a dark dress. On the day before
the alleged abduction it was reported
that the lady implored her miliner to be
punctual with new light dress, and it
is said that she wore the same dress in
the Bois de Rnulagne. Ex-Queen Isa-
bella does not believe that the lady con-
sented to go, and has written letter to
the authorities asking them to pursue
the matter further. Al kinds of rumors
are in circulation hut no facts can be
learned,
The man with whom the Countess
Campos left France is the VisCOunt De
Latour Garbouf. The couple went TO
Antwerp and will go from there to Eng
land, where they will be married. The
Countess has written To the papers say
ing her object in running off with the
Viscount was to secure her release from
her oppressors and To regain her liberty.
The fortune of the Countess Is estimated
at S7,50O,O 900.

How Pension Bummers Press Their
Claims

| had a talk the other day with one of
the members of the Pension Board in
this city. He said they had some pretty
tough customers 10 deal with-some APP
plicants for pension who evidently be-
logged to the "bummer" class of soldiers
and who show it 50 plainly that there is
no escaping the conviction that they are
trying to defraud the government. He
said that the board would much prefer
to give every applicant pension rather
than report unfavorably in any case, but
they were compelled to officially and
conscientiOusly to discriminate between
the deserving soldier and the hummer" !"
and that the latter element usually were
fortified with evidence than the good
soldiers.

Washington looked at its best and the
greater part of the population seemed to
be on the line of march. The arrange
ments for the parade were seasonably
complete and were carried out almost
to the allotted second. and without ap-
parent hitch or break.
The head of the column started from
the camp promptly at II O'Clock and
reached the stand erected for the Presi-
dent and invited guests ten minutes
later. This stand had seats for nearly
three hundred persons and was well
filed without crowding. With the
President were Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.
Welsh and Mrs. Marsey, and Col. and
Mrs. Lamont. Gen. Sheridan and sew
eral members of his staff in full uniform
were their escorts. Among the guests
of the drill were Gov Lee. of Virginia,
and staff; Gov. McGill, of Minnesota.
and staff; and the staff of Gov. Gray,
of Indiana, 0he Governor himself
having been unavoidably detained
at the last moment; Secretary Endicott,
Senators Sherman and German, the
Mexican and japanese Ministers and the
ladies of their families, and a liberal
sprinkling of other legation and army
people.
The troops looked and marched like
veterans and Were encouraged with lib
eral applause. In one respect the pro-
gramme was departed from. The Vicks-
burg Southrons, with their band and
the Memphis Zouaves brought up the
rear with quite an interval between them
and their predecessors. They formed, in
fact, a little column by themselves. They

HOSIERY MILL in DISTRESS.
Brought from England to Share the Bene

PROVIDENCE. r. l., May 25.-The Brit
ish Hosiery Company at Thornton has
posted a notice of a probability of a re-
duction to one-half the present force or
possible shut down. This is on account
of the extreme depression of trade and
the large stock of unsold goods. This
concern was imported from England,
plant and operatives, in 1884 to work
under the advantages of a protec-
tive tariff. The notice spreads dismay
among the operatives, few of whom
have saved enough to enable them to re-
turn with their families to England. In
the event of the English help being un-
able to secure employment elsewhere,
the concern will plan to run the mill
on half time ON reduced wages to save
the operatives from starvation. The
mill heretofore made only winter goods,
but the manager says if the present
stress can be weakened. the manufac-
ture of variety of goods will be begun
which will insure plenty of work the
wear round.

PTTTsBURG, May PA plan is being

syndicate to introduce new men in the

are daily receiving applications from
scores of first-class men who are willing
and ready to go to work. In case they
decide to put new men to- work they will
be carefully protected and preference
will be given to native Americans as
they have found Hungarians too trouble
some to make more experiments with
them. They will also make every pro-
vision TO protect the new men and pre-

On the other hand the labor organiza-

causes of the strike IN all the industrial
centers in the county. As a consequence
of the strike shipments of iron ore from

The Cam DhOr Tree In Florida.


1t may not be known to many that the
camphor tree has proved as hardy in
Florida as the orange. Such is the fact.
and we wish to call attention to il, for il
is one of the most beautiful and interest
ing trees in our list of hardy exotics. As
far north as Waldo it survived the frost
of SO without the least injury, bearing
flowers and seeds the following year.
Driving on, from Waldo last summer,
with Judge Kennard to DIR. NJ. A.
Cushing's place, we were not a little as-
tOnished to find a camphor tree growing
vigorously outside the fence. Within
the doctors enclosure we found very
fine tree about twenty feet in height. II
bears a general resemblance in form and
foliage to the orange tree.
A month before we saw An equally
vigorous but younger camphor tree at
Belair, near Sanford. Mr.. Houston,
General Sanford's superintendent, also
showed us an equally fine specimen oi
cinnamon tree. 1t was Of similar size
and appearance, but its leaves are mar

tree may be grown anywhere in Florida,

fras, red bay. laurel, avocado pear, and
many other | interesting trees, mostly
natives OF tropical countries.
